Eye Dazzlers
HGA’s Convergence 2010 Albuquerque Multimedia Fiber Arts
Exhibit
Exhibit: July 21 - 25, 2010, Albuquerque Convention Center, Albuquerque, New Mexico
An international
juried exhibit featuring multimedia fiber arts works.
Eye dazzling rugs and blankets are among the earliest types of Navajo textiles to be woven with manufactured yarns and synthetic dyes. Because of their fine texture and wide range of color, these “Germantown” yarns lend themselves to fine weavings and infinite detail. When these fine yarns with their exciting array of colors combined with the new Saltillo designs the Navajos were learning from the Spanish Colonial weavers during the transitional period (1880-1900), colorful complex textile designs resulted. Let the inspiration of outside influences, change of environment, new materials, and the incorporation of neighboring ideas inspire you for this Multimedia Fiber Arts exhibit, which is open to work created using any fiber arts technique.
Juror: Wendy Weiss
Wendy Weiss is a professor of Textiles, Clothing and Design at the University of Nebraska and director of the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery. She regularly exhibits her collaborative installation work nationally and internationally. As director of the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery, she has curated exhibits of internationally recognized artists.

| Jurying |
The juror will independently
screen all images and make the preliminary selection of all work in
the exhibition.
Pieces will be evaluated on concept,
design, technique, and overall suitability of the technique and/or materials.
Creative exploration is encouraged.
Accepted work is subject to final approval
by the juror's representative after the actual work arrives at the Albuquerque Convention Center. Work that differs significantly from the slide/digital image representing it may be ineligible for the exhibition and may be
returned to the artist. Submission to Eyedazzlers implies that
the artwork on the slides or CD will be, if chosen by the juror, available
for the exhibition and that the artist understands that all accepted
work, without exception, must remain for the duration of the exhibition. |

Pieces must be originally conceived and created by the entrant. The
work should be one-of-a-kind, not previously exhibited
